Review:
If you’ve come to Gold Coast eager to experience the best that its lush forests have to offer, then the Springbrook National Park ought to have a spot on your itinerary. Situated in the hinterlands, just a 45-minute drive from the beaches, Springbrook was formed roughly 23 million years ago after the eruption of an ancient volcano. Today, explorers can hike up that very volcano, trek past glorious waterfalls, and peer into the depths of color canyons. Beneath Springbrook’s canopy, an exotic and unexpected world awaits to be discovered. Rare birds are waiting to be spotted, while even rarer plants lie all around. Keep your eyes peeled for glow-in-the-dark mushrooms, strangler figs, and epiphytes, or stand in awe as massive vines tangle themselves around olden trees, and boulders as large as homes.
